Inclusion is important.
There should be fewer barriers in theatre.
Theatre should be for everyone.
But how can we make that happen?
We need to talk about these topics.

We invite all people who want to talk with us.
We will sit in groups at different tables.
We will have conversations.
There will be coffee and tea.

At the beginning, Claire Diraison will explain:
There is a new advice center.
It is called Open Up!
It organizes cultural activities for children and young people.
These children and young people have disabilities.

After that, we will have discussion rounds.
There will be four tables.
Each table will have a different topic.
At every table, there are people from four theatre groups.
After 20 minutes, everyone moves to the next table.
You can take part in three of the four tables.

The event will be held in Easy Language.
There will be a sign language interpreter.
She will translate spoken language into sign language.

You need to get a ticket for the event. It’s free. Then you’re registered.
